Luxury London Hotels you can book with Points

Luxury London Hotels you can book with Points

London is one of my favorite cities in the world. It was the first city I visited that was overseas, it’s where I studied abroad, and of any city outside America, it’s the one I’ve spent the most time in. Long story short – I love the London’s history, food, theatre, parks, nightlife, etc… it’s truly an incredible city. In the past couple years I’ve been back in a different capacity. A couple nights here, a couple nights there. While I still see friends, I don’t stay with them, and have opted to frequent hotels.  I’ve been making my way around the city, trying out different locations, different hotel programs, and thought it could be useful to lay out a small guide as to where I’ve been, and also a few spots I’d like to visit. Here are some luxury london hotel YOU can book with points.

The 7 hotels I’ve stayed at that you could too…by using points.

1. JW Marriott Grosvenor House London – 45k Marriott Rewards
   • This is an iconic hotel with great access to the tube, park lane, and Hyde Park with an OUTSTANDING CLUB LOUNGE. 
2. Marriott Park Lane – 45k Marriott Rewards
   • Looks large, but feels like a luxury boutique hotel on the corner of Park Lane and Oxford Street. Old Money. Probably the most luxuriously appointed of all the hotels I’ve stayed out on this list.
3. London Edition – 50k Marriott Rewards
   • Uber cool, sexy hotel with a nightlife vibe designed by hotelier Ian Schrager
4. Waldorf Hilton London – 60k Hilton Honors
   • London Landmark with some fresh paint and newly renovated rooms right off Covent Garden. Great for theater goers
5. Intercontinental London Park Lane – 60k IHG
   • Outstanding location on Hyde Park Corner. Walking distance to Harrod’s. 
6. Conrad London – 80k Hilton Honors
   • Near Parliament, Westminster Abbey. Great Location with the St James tube stop within a couple mins walk.

     

7. Radisson Blu Edwardian New Providence Wharf – 70k points

Of those 6 where would I look to stay again?

• Pure Luxury?
  • Marriott Park Lane
• Theater/Night Life?
  • Waldorf Hilton
• Sexy, cool vibe close to Soho?
  • Edition
• Best Free Night?
  • Intercontinental
• Best Club Lounge
  • Grosvenor House
• Wouldn’t choose again…
  • Radisson Blu Edwardian
• Overall?
  • All things considered…I’d probably stay at the Marriott Park Lane or the Grosvenor House. The location is essentially the same. I was really impressed with how intimate the Marriott Park Lane felt, the quality of the rooms, but the club lounge at Grosvenor is hard to beat…

Hotels I’d like to check out:

1. Marriott Grosvenor Park – 45k Marriott Rewards
   • Great Location…would be an interesting comparison
2. Renaissance St. Pancras – 45k Marriott Rewards
   • No Mas Coach has raved about the service.  I take the train almost every time I’m in London out of St. Pancras and have long fancied a stay at this gorgeous looking hotel. I’ll have to check it out at some point.
3. Hyatt Place London Heathrow – roughly £100
   • I think this could be a good review for travelers looking for an overnight at the airport.
4. London Marriott County Hall – 45k Marriott Rewards
   • Right on the Thames…looks amazing. I actually toured the lobby 2 years ago and thought it
5. Sheraton Grand Park Lane – 20 SPG or 60k Marriott Rewards
   • This would almost complete my “Points hotels along Park Lane” tour. Would be a good comparison to the Marriott Park Lane, Grosvenor house, Intercontiental, and….at some point the Hilton Park Lane.
6. Hyatt Regency London – 25k World of Hyatt
   • I can never find this hotel with Cash + Points. I’ve tried every time I’ve come to town and not a single time is it available. I can’t see plopping 25k points down tho. One of these times it’ll open up and it would be a nice comparison as it’s not too far from the Park Lane Points hotels.
7. Andaz Liverpool – 25k World of Hyatt
   • Same as the Hyatt Regency London…I can never land Cash + Points rates. But I think it’d be fun to stay more East London. It’s near the Liverpool station, and would just be a different experience.

Is this the best ever offer?

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.

Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.

Main Cast

Main Cast: 

Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.

Supporting Cast:

Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on. 

Quick Breakdown

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is great starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex®  and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Chase Ink Business Cash® ,  Chase Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into the Sapphire Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

Annual fee remains quite low at $95 a year and if you use the $100 Annual Chase Travel Hotel Credit via Chase Travel℠ you’ll wipe out that annual fee every year.  It has great bonus categories and other useful statement credits to enhance your travel.

One thing that is a bummer is Chase lowered the transfer ratio to World of Hyatt from 1:1 to 4:3.
